Current implementation for MLX4_IB_QP_BLOCK_MULTICAST_LOOPBACK is not supported when link layer is Ethernet. This patch will add counter based implementation for multicast loopback prevention. HW can drop multicast loopback packets if sender QP counter index is equal to receiver QP counter index. If qp flag MLX4_IB_QP_BLOCK_MULTICAST_LOOPBACK is set and link layer is Ethernet, create a new counter and attach it to the QP so it will continue receiving multicast loopback traffic but it's own. The decision if to create a new counter is being made at the qp modification to RTR after the QP's port is set. When QP is destroyed or moved back to reset state, delete the counter.

This is an infrastructure step to attach all the QPs opened from the IB driver to a counter in order to collect VF stats from the PF using those counters. If the port's type is Ethernet, the counter policy demands two counters per port (one for RoCE and one for Ethernet). The port default counter (allocated in mlx4_core) is used for the Ethernet netdev QPs and we allocate another counter for RoCE.

Previously, mlx4_en allocated EQs and used them exclusively. This affected RoCE performance, as applications which are events sensitive were limited to use only the legacy EQs. Change that by introducing an EQ pool. This pool is managed by mlx4_core. EQs are assigned to ports (when there are limited number of EQs, multiple ports could be assigned to the same EQs). An exception to this rule is the ASYNC EQ which handles various events. Legacy EQs are completely removed as all EQs could be shared. When a consumer (mlx4_ib/mlx4_en) requests an EQ, it asks for EQ serving on a specific port. The core driver calculates which EQ should be assigned to that request. Because IRQs are shared between IB and Ethernet modules, their names only include the PCI device BDF address.

If the SM rejects an alias GUID request the PF driver keeps trying to acquire the specified GUID indefinitely, utilizing an exponential backoff scheme. Retrying is managed per GUID entry. Each entry that wasn't applied holds its next retry information. Retry requests to the SM consist of records of 8 consecutive GUIDS. Each record that contains GUIDs requiring retries holds its next time-to-run based on the retry information of all its GUID entries. The record having the lowest retry time will run first when that retry time arrives. Since the method (SET or DELETE) as sent to the SM applies to all the GUIDs in the record, we must handle SET requests and DELETE requests in separate SM messages (one for SETs and the other for DELETEs). To avoid race conditions where a GUID entry request (set or delete) was modified after the SM request was sent, we save the method and the requested indices as part of the callback's context -- thus, only the requested indexes are evaluated when the response is received. When an GUID entry is approved we turn off its retry-required bit, this prevents redundant SM retries from occurring on that record. The port down event should be sent only when previously it was up. Likewise, the port up event should be sent only if previously the port was down. Synchronization was added around the flows that change entries and record state to prevent race conditions.

The driver exposes interfaces that directly relate to HW state. Upon fatal error, consumers of these interfaces (ULPs) that rely on completion of all their posted work-request could hang, thereby introducing dependencies in shutdown order. To prevent this from happening, we manage the relevant resources (CQs, QPs) that are used by the device. Upon a fatal error, we now generate simulated completions for outstanding WQEs that were not completed at the time the HW was reset. It includes invoking the completion event handler for all involved CQs so that the ULPs will poll those CQs. When polled we return simulated CQEs with IB_WC_WR_FLUSH_ERR return code enabling ULPs to clean up their resources and not wait forever for completions upon receiving remove_one. The above change requires an extra check in the data path to make sure that when device is in error state, the simulated CQEs will be returned and no further WQEs will be posted.

The source MAC is needed in RoCE when building the QP1 header. Currently, this is obtained from the source net device. However, the net device may not yet exist, or can be destroyed in parallel to this QP1 send operation (e.g through the VPI port change flow) so accessing it may cause a kernel crash. To fix this, we maintain a source MAC cache per port for the net device in struct mlx4_ib_roce. This cached MAC is initialized to be the default MAC address obtained during HCA initialization via QUERY_PORT. This cached MAC is updated via the netdev event notifier handler. Since the cached MAC is held in an atomic64 object, we do not need locking when accessing it.

When we receive a netdev event indicating a netdev change and/or a netdev address change, we must change the MAC index used by the proxy QP1 (in the QP context), otherwise RoCE CM packets sent by the VF will not carry the same source MAC address as the non-CM packets. We use the UPDATE_QP command to perform this change. In order to avoid modifying a QP context based on netdev event, while the driver attempts to destroy this QP (e.g either the mlx4_ib or ib_mad modules are unloaded), we use mutex locking in both flows. Since the relevant mlx4 proxy GSI QP is created indirectly by the mad module when they create their GSI QP, the mlx4 didn't need to keep track on that QP prior to this change. Now, when QP modifications are needed to this QP from within the driver, we added refernece to it.

Since there is no connection between the MAC/VLAN and the GID when using IP-based addressing, the proxy QP1 (running on the slave) must pass the source-mac, destination-mac, and vlan_id information separately from the GID. Additionally, the Host must pass the remote source-mac and vlan_id back to the slave, This is achieved as follows: Outgoing MADs: 1. Source MAC: obtained from the CQ completion structure (struct ib_wc, smac field). 2. Destination MAC: obtained from the tunnel header 3. vlan_id: obtained from the tunnel header. Incoming MADs 1. The source (i.e., remote) MAC and vlan_id are passed in the tunnel header to the proxy QP1. VST mode support: For outgoing MADs, the vlan_id obtained from the header is discarded, and the vlan_id specified by the Hypervisor is used instead. For incoming MADs, the incoming vlan_id (in the wc) is discarded, and the "invalid" vlan (0xffff) is substituted when forwarding to the slave.

The IB side of RoCE requires the MAC table index of the MAC address used by its QPs. To obtain the real MAC index, the IB side registers the MAC (increasing its ref count, and also returning the real MAC index) during the modify-qp sequence. This protects against the ETH side deleting or modifying that MAC table entry while the QP is active. Note that until the modify-qp command returns success, the MAC and VLAN information only has "candidate" status. If the modify-qp succeeds, the "candidate" info is promoted to the operational MAC/VLAN info for the qp. If the modify fails, the candidate MAC/VLAN is unregistered, and the old qp info is preserved. The patch is a bit complex, because there are multiple qp transitions where the primary-path information may be modified: INIT-to-RTR, and SQD-to-SQD. Similarly for the alternate path information. Therefore the code must handle cases where path information has already been entered into the QP context by previous qp transitions. For the MAC address, the success logic is as follows: 1. If there was no previous MAC, simply move the candidate MAC information to the operational information, and reset the candidate MAC info. 2. If there was a previous MAC, unregister it. Then move the MAC information from candidate to operational, and reset the candidate info (as in 1. above). The MAC address failure logic is the same for all cases: - Unregister the candidate MAC, and reset the candidate MAC info. For Vlan registration, the logic is similar.

Currently, the mlx4 driver set IBoE (RoCE) gids to encode related Ethernet netdevice interface MAC address and possibly VLAN id. Change this scheme such that gids encode interface IP addresses (both IP4 and IPv6). This requires learning the IP addresses which are of use by a netdevice associated with the HCA port, formatting them to gids and adding them to the port gid table. Furthermore, events of add and delete address are caught to maintain the gid table accordingly. Associated IP addresses may belong to a master of an Ethernet netdevice on top of that port so this should be considered when building and maintaining the gid table.

ConnectX-3 devices can use either 64- or 32-byte completion queue entries (CQEs) and event queue entries (EQEs). Using 64-byte EQEs/CQEs performs better because each entry is aligned to a complete cacheline. This patch queries the HCA's capabilities, and if it supports 64-byte CQEs and EQES the driver will configure the HW to work in 64-byte mode. The 32-byte vs 64-byte mode is global per HCA and not per CQ or EQ. Since this mode is global, userspace (libmlx4) must be updated to work with the configured CQE size, and guests using SR-IOV virtual functions need to know both EQE and CQE size. In case one of the 64-byte CQE/EQE capabilities is activated, the patch makes sure that older guest drivers that use the QUERY_DEV_FUNC command (e.g as done in mlx4_core of Linux 3.3..3.6) will notice that they need an update to be able to work with the PPF. This is done by changing the returned pf_context_behaviour not to be zero any more. In case none of these capabilities is activated that value remains zero and older guest drivers can run OK. The SRIOV related flow is as follows 1. the PPF does the detection of the new capabilities using QUERY_DEV_CAP command. 2. the PPF activates the new capabilities using INIT_HCA. 3. the VF detects if the PPF activated the capabilities using QUERY_HCA, and if this is the case activates them for itself too. Note that the VF detects that it must be aware to the new PF behaviour using QUERY_FUNC_CAP. Steps 1 and 2 apply also for native mode. User space notification is done through a new field introduced in struct mlx4_ib_ucontext which holds device capabilities for which user space must take action. This changes the binary interface so the ABI towards libmlx4 exposed through uverbs is bumped from 3 to 4 but only when **needed** i.e. only when the driver does use 64-byte CQEs or future device capabilities which must be in sync by user space. This practice allows to work with unmodified libmlx4 on older devices (e.g A0, B0) which don't support 64-byte CQEs. In order to keep existing systems functional when they update to a newer kernel that contains these changes in VF and userspace ABI, a module parameter enable_64b_cqe_eqe must be set to enable 64-byte mode; the default is currently false.

This directory is added only for the master -- slaves do not have it. The sysfs iov directory is used to manage and examine the port P_Key and guid paravirtualization. Under iov/ports, the administrator may examine the gid and P_Key tables as they are present in the device (and as are seen in the "network view" presented to the SM). Under the iov/<pci slot number> directories, the admin may map the index numbers in the physical tables (as under iov/ports) to the paravirtualized index numbers that guests see. For example, if the administrator, for port 1 on guest 2 maps physical pkey index 10 to virtual index 1, then that guest, whenever it uses its pkey index 1, will actually be using the real pkey index 10.
